TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
We are using an XSL to generate rtf from this (to create our What's This
help). Our problem is that a single field may have more than one <fid>
value (because the field shows up in more than one area of the
interface), so we allow multiple <fid>s in <field>.
The Problem:
When generating the rtf, we want to duplicate the field name and
description for each <fid> listed in <field>.
Currently, our output creates two rtf instances of the <fid>, but only
populates the second instance with the name and description.
We have tinkered with our XSL to no end, putting <xsl:for-each>
statements in various locations, but have been unsuccessful in obtaining
the duplicate information.
